Native Cacao
The native cocoa beans offer a unique flavour, shaped by the lush rainforest's biodiversity. They feature a rich, earthy taste with fruity notes and a gentle, natural sweetness—a true reflection of the Amazon's essence.
Naturally Grown in the Amazon Rainforest
Our chocolate is crafted from rare native cocoa beans found in the heart of the Brazilian Amazon Rainforest. These beans are a cherished part of Brazil's cultural heritage.
Native Cacao, Origin Purus River
At the heart of our chocolate lies a cherished Brazilian tradition—cultivating native cocoa beans. We partner closely with local farmers, guardians of these cocoa trees for generations, ensuring their legacy endures.
Our journey commences along the majestic Purus River, one of South America's longest waterways, coursing through the Amazon rainforest in the state of Amazonas, Brazil. Along its verdant banks thrive vibrant ecosystems where native cacao trees flourish, embodying the essence of our chocolate.
Our cacao varietal, 'Purus,' flourishes in the biodiverse Purus River basin, benefiting from its unique climate and soil conditions. Submerged under the river waters for months, these trees develop a distinctive flavour profile—characterized by earthy richness, floral undertones, and fruity sweetness. With utmost care, we preserve this natural essence in our chocolate creations, offering you an authentic taste of the Amazon with every bite.
Social and Environmental Responsible
Our commitment extends to sustainability. We source the cocoa beans responsibly to help to protect the rainforest while supporting the local families and traditional farming practices. It's our way of preserving Brazil's cultural heritage and the invaluable Amazon Rainforest.
In a world dominated by mass-produced cocoa beans sourced from unsustainable practices, we've chosen a different path—one that honors cultural heritage while championing ecological preservation. Our focus on the Brazilian Amazon Rainforest stems from a deep commitment to making a meaningful impact on local communities and the environment.
The Amazon Rainforest, often dubbed the lungs of our planet, faces unprecedented threats from deforestation and unsustainable agriculture. Recognizing the urgency to protect this invaluable ecosystem, we're dedicated to supporting both its preservation and the livelihoods of those who call it home.
Through collaboration with local cooperatives like Cooperar, we've uncovered the extraordinary potential of native cacao beans flourishing along the Purus River. Cultivated by over 350 families, these beans epitomize the region's rich biodiversity and cultural heritage.
Cooperar, our valued partner, shares our commitment to promoting socio-biodiversity and empowering local communities through sustainable practices. By fostering agro extractivism and participatory management, they enable families to thrive while safeguarding their natural environment.
Our dedication to sustainability extends beyond sourcing practices. At every stage of production, from harvesting to storage, we adhere to rigorous protocols that prioritize environmental stewardship and uphold quality standards.
The result? A harmonious relationship between humanity and nature, supporting the preservation of Brazil's cultural heritage and the irreplaceable Amazon Rainforest.
